Supraclavicular and Contralateral Axillary Lymph Node Involvement in Breast Cancer Patients.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ipsilateral supraclavicular disease was reclassified from Stage IV, distant metastatic disease, to Stage IIIC, locally advanced breast cancer 20 years ago. Treatment with curative intent with multimodality therapy has led to improved outcomes over time. In contrast, metastatic disease to contralateral axillary lymph nodes remains as Stage IV distant disease. Despite this, in the absence of other distant metastases, many patients with contralateral axillary disease are treated more aggressively than other Stage IV patients. Outcomes of patients with contralateral axillary disease treated with curative intent are more like patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular disease and other locally advanced breast cancers than patients with de novo distant metastases elsewhere. Therefore, some favor reclassification of contralateral axillary metastases without distant metastasis from Stage IV to Stage III breast cancer similar to ipsilateral supraclavicular metastases.
